The document discusses the Sound Planning and Management community on Project Cycle Management (PCM) for the European Social Fund 2007-2013. It outlines the objectives of joining the community, which are to exchange approaches on challenges faced by ESF managers, provide problem-solving support, and help upgrade skills. The community uses a web environment and tools to facilitate online interactions and knowledge sharing between members. Expected results include MA's and designers being more aware of good practices and able to apply PCM concepts in ESF programs.
